Tattooed types, though, still believe they’re bravely striking a blow
against buttoned-up conservatives everywhere. In fact, to be part of
mainstream society nowadays, you actively have to cultivate your inner
hippie. From Tony Blair to Richard Branson, an adolescent disdain for
formal dress in formal situations is the new orthodoxy. Good riddance,
some may think; what people wear shouldn’t matter anyway. But the whole
point of neutral and formal wear is that it’s meant to show that a
person is putting the job first and that they respect the position of
responsibility they hold. A demand for tattoos to be accepted in a
workplace environment is a refusal to take your position or yourself
seriously."
